School Highlights

Small classes mean individual attention. When you question a concept, when you're ready to stretch yourself, when you're tackling something new, it's important to have faculty ready (and available) to help. It's the kind of environment where you can really explore what inspires you and grow as a student and (future) professional. You’ll come to understand where you can best make a difference while gaining real-world professional experience.

Women’s College AdvantageProud to be the second oldest women’s college in the country, we take our emphasis on women seriously. That commitment extends to not only our focus on women’s unique health issues but also on providing fulfilling career and leadership opportunities. For many, a internship/capstone experience will provide even greater insights into career and professional opportunities. Small class sizes and dedicated mentors also lead to more research opportunities.

Far-Reaching Career ImpactHealth-related career fields are among the nation’s fastest growing, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov). Occupations and industries related to healthcare are projected to add the most new jobs between 2012 and 2022. Stephens is uniquely positioned to help all students find their way in an expanding field with many different paths, challenges, rewards and opportunities.

For students pursuing Equestrian Studies, Stephens is proud to have achieved a 100% job placement rate for five years. An extensive dedicated alumnae network actively supports the program and its graduates.
